Things don’t always go to plan. There are so many reasons why we might not meet our own expectations in a race. Factors both within our control, and out of our control. If you race enough races, there’s the chance that before too long you may find yourself disappointed in your result for some reason [...]
Hey RMA crew! Hope you’re all good. Had a bit of a crazy night. I got home yesterday and was having fun with the kids. We were jumping on the tramp and Abbie who is four snuck underneath and tried to touch our bouncing legs. She kind of hyperextended her knee so in amongst my [...]
Im sitting in bed and its 9pm on Monday night, one day post Melbourne Marathon 2014 and I am reflecting on the journey that has been up to this point in my running career. It has been quite a ride, and one that I will always remember as the year that really got me started. [...]
Here at RMA it isn't new for people to be running marathons. There are many many many of you that take up the challenge every year, however when we look at the crux of the marathon we realise that it is no mean feat. A marathon is a LONG WAY and it requires a lot [...]
Hey RMA crew! Great to see the girls rocking out their RMA shirts at the RIFREV session with Will and I last week. Had a few people asking about exercises for runners knee lately and I thought I would go through some important stuff with you. We’ve talked before about technique with knee pain and [...]
Lights! Camera! Action! You’re on Broadway now In May when I was named in the Indigenous Marathon Project 2014, I was told that under no circumstances was my place on the New York marathon team guaranteed, and that I would have to prove to Rob De Castella and the Head Coach Mick Rees, that I [...]
Hey RMA crew, Last week we talked about how travelling in the car or sitting for long periods can make muscles tight as well as shorten you through the front which has an effect on your running. This week I though I would show you guys a few ways to optimise the body and lengthen [...]
Well done to all our running mums racing over the weekend! We had the Twilight running festival in Brisbane on Saturday night, and yesterday the Sydney running festival, Adelaide city 2 Bay, Numinbah to Pollys Trail race in QLD, and I'm sure countless more runs across the country! It was amazing to watch all the [...]
Hey RMA Crew, Had a great road trip out to visit the Pittsworth RMA mums the other day! Big shout out to Danielle, Bin, Jamie, and Janelle for helping organise it. Will and I had heaps of fun! You guys have such a great running community out there! It was a two and a half [...]
The time is upon us as we embark on our spring holidays yet again! For some of us that means nothing as we push on through working commitments, but to many of us mums who have the delight of our kids being at home with us in the holidays it means perhaps less available running [...]
After 6 long months of training, race morning was upon me! My alarm went off at 4:30am after a very restless night sleep. I got up & had my usual pre-event breakfast of coffee & peanut butter toast, then checked through all my mandatory gear for the millionth time! We left the house for the [...]
Hey RMA crew!I got down to River Run 100 last Sunday and caught up with everyone there. Great to see so many Running Mums doing cool stuff raising awareness for Run For Hummingbird House with four teams! How cool is that. While I was there I caught up with Sharon who was talking to me [...]
The City2Surf (C2S) journey began for me some 10 years ago when I ran/walked the 14km to Bondi with a group of my best-friends. It was a fantastic day full of laughter and great times. Needless to say, at that point, I never thought I’d be a runner and would one day RUN the C2S.This [...]
